An induced abortion complicated by fallopian tube incarceration in the uterine cavity.

Induced abortions continue to be practiced, despite availability of contraceptive-based methods. Their commonest immediate and early complications are hemorrhage, retained products of conception, genital tract infections, and lacerations. Uterine perforation can be complicated by injuries to small intestines, bladder, rectum, appendix, and rarely to fallopian tubes. We report here on a case of uterine perforation during manual vacuum aspiration with incarceration of the distal part of the fallopian tube in the uterine cavity.
